What is 43/72 Divided By 4/1

Solving $\frac{43}{72}\div\frac{4}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{43}{72} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{43}{72} \times \frac{1}{4}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $43 \times 1 = 43$
• Multiply the Denominators: $72 \times 4 = 288$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{43}{72} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{43}{288}$
